Fraud is a type of white-collar crime that is broadly defined as intentionally deceiving a person or group of people for personal gain or in an effort to injure another party. Because there are so many different types of fraud charges and offenses, convictions for fraud charges will vary greatly and will depend on the facts of the case, the value of the property taken (or amount of injury caused) and an individual’s criminal history.

Regardless of the exact type of fraud charge filed, however, these charges are serious, and convictions can result in sentences, including life in prison, jail time and permanent marks on the individual’s criminal record.

If you or a loved one has been accused of fraud in Chicago or the surrounding areas, it’s crucial that you consult an experienced fraud attorney right away to determine how to defend your case.

Types of Fraud

Under Illinois state law, the most common charge associated with fraud is theft. Most cases that involve fraud are usually charged as theft. For example, if a person works as a bookkeeper for a retail store but commits fraud and takes thousands of dollars from the store, they would likely be arrested and charge with theft. In other words, the person is typically not charged with “fraud” but some form of felony theft. Mr. Weisberg has successfully defensed countless individuals in large scale theft cases in Chicago and suburban Cook County. Other fraud related offenses are listed below:

419 fraud

bait and switch

bankruptcy fraud

credit card fraud

delivery fraud

embezzlement or other types of theft crimes

false advertising

fraudulent insurance claims

forgery

identity theft

mail fraud

Ponzi schemes (or other forms of investment fraud)

securities fraud

social security or disability fraud

In general, defendants with criminal histories of recent felonies will face harsher charges than those with minimal or no criminal histories.
